hello...this is natural phenomeno known as presbyopia...after 40 yrs age..near sight decreases and so glasses are required for near work...this is normal..get a +0.75D glasses and try reading with these glasses

There is no medication or food for improving eyesight or to get rid of glasses.
If not interested in glasses then you can try
a. Contact lens
b. Lasik laser
as your age is now 19 years so your number will not increase now whether you wear glasses or not as number becomes stable at age of 18-20 yrs.
Having said that I advise you to eat balanced diet including green vegetables and seasonal fruits for keeping eyes and body healthy.
As you are not comfortable with contact lens then go for lasik.
Lasik is a very easy and painless procedure. If you want to get rid of glasses then go for lasik.

If your vision in 6/6 with glasses then you will have 6/6 without any glasses after LASIK. Before you uindergo LASIK you need to undergo a test called corneal topography. If that test is fine then you will not have any problems after LASIK.
LASIK is now the basic refractive surgery. ZYOPTIX is a customized LASIK which is said to give you better quality of vision.
A new thing known as SMILE is the latest but also costs almost double than that of LASIK

Never use pyrimon eye drops for itching & redness without advice of ophalmologist,it may lead to glaucoma & cataract if used for long time ,it is specific drops containing corticosteroid given for specific period of time in certain cases, you may use Tobracid-F eye drops 3-4 times + genteal eye drops 4-5 times.

Hello,
Include the following for getting better vision:
Vitamins A, C, E, and minerals like copper and zinc are essential to eyesight. Get the antioxidants from dark leafy greens, egg yolks, yellow peppers, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and carrots. Include garlic and onions. Blueberries, grapes as they have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that can help improve your vision. DHA is a fatty acid found in coldwater fish like salmon, sardines and mackerel.
Exercises for eyes:
Warm your eyes. Rub your palms together to create heat, and then place them against your eyes for five seconds. Repeat this three times.
Roll your eyes. Start by looking up and then slowly circle 10 times clockwise and 10 times counterclockwise.
Focus. Hold a pen at arm's length, focus your eyes on it, and slowly bring the pen closer until it's about 6 inches away from your nose. Then slowly move it back, keeping your eyes focused on the pen, 10 times in all.
Massage your temples. Using your thumb knuckles, massage your temples in small circles, 20 times in one direction and 20 in the other. Repeat the same actions above the mid-point
of the eyebrows at the forehead, then below the eyes on both sides of the bridge of the nose.
Take a mini-nap. Put your head back, close your eyes, and relax for 3 minutes.
Insufficient sleep may weaken your vision, so shoot for 8 hours of sound sleep a night.
Rest your eyes 10 minutes for every 50 minutes spent reading or in front of the computer. If your eyes feel overly tired, lie down and place cooling cucumber slices over your eyelids.
Medication:
Take homoeopathic medicine which will help you in preventing rather reducing the power of your eyes. Take Physostigma 6/ thrice daily for 1 month. Thereafter, revert back for further guidance.

You must not wake up for late night. Wash your eyes two three times in a day. Take homeo medicine nux vomica 30 thrice a day three drops in water for one day only. And kali phos 12 x four tablets at night only one day only. Call back.

It could be style or chalazion. Do continue warm compress with lukewarm water soaked cotton 3 to 4 times a day. Oral antibiotics and eye drops should be used. Chalazion or style may burst to exude pus. Show to eye specialist. It may need minor surgery at times.
